Just when it looked like this Clasico would end honours even, following goals from Andreas Christensen and Fermin Lopez for Barca and a Vinicius Junior penalty and a Lucas Vazquez effort or the hosts, England star Bellingham broke Blaugrana hearts with a 91st-minute winner at Santiago Bernabeu. Nearly six months on from his 92nd-minute winner against Xavi's side in October, the ex-Birmingham City man repeated the trick; this time in front of his adoring home fans.

For the winner, Madrid ace Joselu collected the ball on the right wing and his drilled cross evaded everyone, bar team-mate Bellingham, who was on hand to guide a finish past Marc-Andre Ter Stegen on Sunday night.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Bellingham signed for Madrid from Borussia Dortmund for an initial £88 million ($108.9m) and since then he has proven to be an excellent acquisition, scoring 21 goals and bagging 10 assists. Now, with six games to go, Los Blancos have a 11-point lead ahead of their great rivals thanks to Bellingham's heroics.
